| dc.description.abstract-translated | At a time when vehicle automation is becoming increasingly important, there is a growing need for greater consumer centricity. However, the importance of effectively deriving functional product specifications appears to be diminishing. The case of Automated Parking Systems (APS) demonstrates that the automotive industry often employs a top-down approach, in contrast to a more customer-centric method in the development process. To assess the effectiveness of this top-down approach, we conducted a field study and a mixed-method online survey to explore user expectations of APS functionality. Our findings indicate that drivers strongly dislike excessive parking maneuvers caused by overly restrictive product specifications. Moreover, user demands are less stringent than the development requirements set by OEMs. Based on these insights, we recommend adopting a more user-centered approach. This shift could enable companies to reduce development costs and time investments, while accelerating the adoption of their innovations. | en |
